    Lonnie,

    run /stand/sysinstall as root

    choose Configure->Distributions->src-> choose what sources to install

    and sysinstall will ask you what media would you like to use for installation.
    You can choose the installation over the net from various servers.

    And generally, you have to read chapters number 20 and number 14.14 in the handbook to
    keep your sources up to date.
